On January
20, 1942, 14 key representatives of the SS, Nazi Party and government
bureaucracy met secretly at a house in Wannsee, a quiet Berlin suburb.
There, the official decision was made to implement the Nazis' "Final Solution"
of exterminating the Jewish people.

The
Wannssee Conference is a chilling film that reenacts the
historic meeting minute-by-minute, based on the actual notes and letters
written by Hermann Goering and Adolf Eichmann, and testimony by Eichmann
during his 1961 trial in Israel.

CRITICAL
ACCLAIM

"West
German producer Manfred Korytowski chillingly recreates this fateful conference,
at which key representatives of the SS, the Nazi Party and the government
ministries signed off on the Final Solution. Reinhard Heydrich, Hitler's
Gestapo chief, called them together to win support for "an organizational
task unparalleled in history" and to diffuse the responsibility for
enacting it. Full of cognac and career ambitions, the 13 underlings went
along with the program."
